Waldo paused momentarily, then disappeared from his original spot. He entered a state that was almost like nothingness, as if stepping into another parallel world. His breath and body completely vanished from this world.

"Is this the effect of a fully upgraded invisibility?" Waldo pondered. "It seems like I exist in this world and yet I don’t. Others can’t possibly detect my presence, and I can even ignore physical obstructions! If I’m not mistaken, while invisible, I actually enter another mysterious plane. To a certain extent, I can even avoid enemy attacks, or at least significantly weaken them. Whether for assassination or escape, this ability is unmatched!"

A smile flickered in Waldo’s eyes. The enhancement of his abilities had a significant impact on him. Not only did his acquired abilities become stronger, but his soul, having gone through repeated rebirths and transformations, also became indestructible.

Moreover, the energy surging within him had also become more vast, like a roaring river within his body. Such a level of energy would be unbearable for an average trialist, but for Waldo, it was effortless.

"Now, the total amount of energy in my body is much more than an average second-level trialist, probably two to three times the energy of those people," Waldo thought to himself.

Feeling an inexhaustible force and having everything under control, he tried out his other abilities. Whether it was petrification or flight, each had received a substantial upgrade. If he wanted, he could fly at any time. It’s worth noting that in the Dark Land, the speed of flight is greatly limited. Before, Waldo had tried it: his fifth-level ability [Flight] could only reach a maximum speed of 100 kilometers per hour. But now, after reaching full level, both his flying altitude and speed had increased by two to three times.

Time flew by quickly. In the Dark Land, it was difficult to have a concept of time. Waldo’s method of calculating time was simple and crude: based on the survival points he earned. Now, it was the eighth day since he had entered the Dark Land, and he had unknowingly spent two days upgrading his abilities.

Waldo’s strength had undergone a revolutionary change in these two days.

"Now, even though I can’t easily beat my former self single-handedly, I can still easily overpower myself from before," Waldo thought.

Suddenly, his expression shifted. His gaze became fiery, piercing through the minutest details. He turned to look into the distance, where in the darkness, strange substances that obstructed vision were pierced through by his gaze. Waldo’s eyes blazed like two suns, allowing nothing to obstruct his sight.

Soon, Waldo noticed three tall figures with a powerful and strange aura standing atop a distant hill. They were the three-eyed natives.

"Are they coming for me?" Waldo wondered, his face showing a hint of confusion. When he spotted them, the three-eyed natives didn’t seem to have noticed him yet. That was expected given the vast difference in their strengths. It appeared they were searching for something.

Waldo, curious, tuned into the chat channel and saw many discussions about the three-eyed natives targeting him. "So they really are coming to hunt me down!" A mischievous and peculiar smile appeared on Waldo’s face. "You’ve been causing havoc these past few days, killing numerous trialists. You must have quite a few super Source stones. And here I was just thinking of taking a nap, and someone comes bringing a pillow!"

Waldo laughed heartily, a hint of killing intent surfacing on his face. In the chat channel, numerous trialists were hotly discussing the three-eyed natives’ intention to hunt Waldo. Their goal was clear: to find and trouble Waldo. Before killing any trialists, they would always inquire about Waldo’s whereabouts and strength.

"It’s not hard to know Waldo’s location since he hasn’t turned off his location information. We all can see the distance between Waldo and us. The three-eyed natives have interrogated many trialists to find out where Waldo is," someone analyzed carefully.

"Waldo is in danger! It’s so frustrating, these natives are too arrogant!"

"What else can we do? We are no match for them. We can only swallow our anger and stay as far away as possible."

"The only way is for all the second-level trialists to unite. That might give us a fighting chance. However, it’s impossible for all second-level trialists to band together."

"They must be close to Waldo by now. I hope Waldo can survive this ordeal!"

"Waldo must know about this by now. I wonder what he will do."

"I actually hope Waldo and the three-eyed natives fight to the death, both suffering heavy losses. That would be the best outcome for us!"

"Yes!"

The three-eyed natives have been the focus of everyone’s discussion these days. Almost everyone feels threatened.

"Fortunately, their target seems to be Waldo. Neither side is anything good. It’s best if they both perish!"

"That way, the two biggest threats to us will be eliminated."

As everyone was heatedly discussing, Waldo, like a god of death, didn’t hide his terrifying killing intent. He stepped out, covering hundreds of meters in a single stride, and headed towards the three three-eyed natives.

"Die!" Waldo’s cold voice, booming and ignoring distance, exploded like thunder right beside the ears of the three natives.

"Death!"

His terrifying killing intent instantly enveloped the three, freezing them as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"Not good, danger!"

"Enemy attack, be alert!"

"Damn, it’s an ambush, everyone be careful!"

As Waldo erupted, charging towards them, the three three-eyed natives instantly reacted.

Waldo made no attempt to conceal his approach, attacking openly. Even the dullest of individuals could sense the impending crisis of a brewing storm!

The three were both shocked and enraged. Shocked that they had failed to detect their enemy until the very moment of attack. Enraged that someone dared to strike against them – they were all second-level three-eyed natives!

Compared to other second-level trialists, they virtually crushed them in all aspects. Without any modesty, except for the areas where monsters congregated, they could go wherever they wished. This was evident from their unbridled hunting of trialists over the past two days. They feared no retribution.

"Seeking death!" the three roared in fury, their aura erupting. Their third eyes, resembling those from the abyss, suddenly opened. The moment they opened, a mysterious force burst forth. The air around them was instantly enveloped in a web-like dense energy.

This energy permeated the entire space, making it incredibly heavy. Anyone entering would feel as if they were trapped in a swampy quagmire, barely able to move. This provided excellent defense against sudden attacks, rendering the assailant’s ambush virtually ineffective."
